Individual fixing
Each element is installed separately on the support. Positioning, anchors and cable routes are prepared from the artwork. “Without mounting rails” does not necessarily mean without standoff.
Technical guide
The material.
The light. The mounting.
Guidelines for preparing a fabrication request and choosing the right construction.
Fixings
Direct, on mounting rails
or on stand-offs.
Materials, with no duplicates.
| Dibond / aluminium composite | For cut letters and panels; not offered for channel letters edges. Aluminium faces and composite core. Specify the range, finish, thickness and edge treatment. An opaque face does not diffuse light; a halo/backlighting effect requires a suitable rear system. |
|---|---|
| PMMA / Plexiglas | PMMA is the material family; Plexiglas is a PMMA brand. Specify opaque, transparent, tinted or diffusing, as well as the edge finish and thickness. |
| PVC | Specify the quality, thickness, surface finish and intended use. A halo/backlighting effect must be assessed together with its mounting and suitable components. |
| Aluminium | Full cut-out or 3D construction. Colour, finish, treatment, assemblies and thickness are defined for the project. |
The signage vocabulary in English.
To prepare a brief with an English-speaking partner, here are the equivalents of the terms used in manufacturing files for resellers in Europe and the United Kingdom.
| French | English |
|---|---|
| Sign manufacturer for resellers | Trade sign manufacturer |
| Subcontract sign manufacturing | Contract sign manufacturing |
| Channel letters manufacturer for sign makers | Trade channel letter manufacturer |
| Professional illuminated sign supplier | Trade illuminated sign supplier |
| Custom 3D letters and logos | Bespoke 3D letters and logos |
| Light box manufacturer for resellers | Trade lightbox manufacturer |
For letters, front-lit refers to front lighting, halo-lit the backlighting and trimless a borderless construction. Attach a visual of the expected result to your request to avoid any ambiguity.
